Living on a peaceful ranch in the new state of California, Don Diego tends to his cattle, breaks horses, and enjoys the company of his wife. When a renegade band of Confederate bushwhackers attack a nearby Indian settlement, though, Don Diego cannot just stand by and let innocents be slaughtered. Zorro heads back into action again... for the last time. Guest starring another legendary masked lawman - The Lone Ranger!"

"Zorro is dead. As Don Diego's widow struggles to cope with the loss, help arrives in the form of two younger heroes: The Lone Ranger and Tonto. In part two of this five issue series, the source of the link between Zorro and The Lone Ranger is revealed. The Ranger has personal ties to the legend known as Zorro - ties that demand vengeance. "

"(W) Ande Parks (A) Esteve Pols (C) Francesco Francavilla The legend known as Zorro has been murdered. The monstrous assault on a Native American mission continues as The Lone Ranger and Tonto search for a way to avenge Zorro and free the Chumash Indians. Outgunned and outmanned, The Ranger and Tonto suddenly find themselves under attack from a new threat: a rival Indian tribe. Meanwhile, the secret society of crime-fighters known as La Justicia make their way to California to help. Will they arrive in time?"

"(W) Writer: Ande Parks (A) Esteve Pols (C) Francesco Francivilla The battle is on. The Lone Ranger, Tonto and a handful of Indian braves launch their first guerilla attack on the forces of Colonel Augustus Barton. It's a small step, though, as Barton's men still hold the local Indian mission: still oppress and murder those who live there. Meanwhile, members of the secret society of crime fighters known as La Justicia make their way to the Zorro ranch. Do they represent what the Chumash Indians have been praying for hope?"

"Writer: Ande Parks Penciller/Inker: Esteve Pols Covers: Francesco Francavilla The stage is set for a final battle in this epic series conclusion. Fighting in Zorro's memory are The Lone Ranger, Tonto, members of the secret Spanish crime-fighting brotherhood, La Justicia, and a score of Native American fighters. As the good guys muster their forces, Colonel Barton and his renegade bushwhackers man their Gatling gun for the defense of the Chumash mission. The stakes couldn't be higher: the lives of innocent women and children, the future of an entire culture, and the legacy of the hero known as Zorro."
